My family and I are expats living in Beijing. The Brickyard is a wonderful retreat in the quiet countryside away from the busy life that is Beijing. The rooms are beautiful, the staff provides great service, and the BBQ on Saturday night was awesome! We highly recomend the Brickyard as a relaxing retreat away from the city and the best... More

I had the most amazing experience at the Brickyard. The staff were friendly and nice. Everything was organized and easy. The wedding was simply magical as it was in the shadows of the Great Wall of China. The ceremony and reception were perfect. Our room was amazing. We had a great breakfast and a nice relaxing yoga class to top... More

The setting amongst a working communal village is authentic and there are views of the Great wall.We loved seeing people going about their day to day lives just a few metres away. A lot of care and though has gone into the design of the buildings which are a blend of updated tradition. The bedrooms are... More

Pros: + The rooms are finished very well and have fantastic views of The Great Wall, on a clear day. + Cafe-style food was delicious, if a touch expensive. + Staff were always very friendly and polite. + A courtesy car is arranged to take you to the entrance of the Wall. You can then get one back to The... More

Gorgeous blue skies, delicious food, relaxing yoga and a wonderful overnight experience at the Great Wall! We just returned from a 24 hour stay - in the fresh air of Beijing. Who would have thought:) Cannot say enough......

First of all, I would like to say that we enjoyed the wonderful scenery around Brickyard. 1. Our room was fine with lovely views over the hills but may lack a bit of Chinese characteristic. 2. One of your English-speaking staff sounded so 'dragged out', bored, and unenthusiastic on the phone when I was trying to make a booking. I... More

My husband and I came into the Great Wall area hopeful for a retreat from the busy and polluted city. While the environment was definitely rustic, the stay was a little less than pleasurable. Pros: 1. Service and attitude of employees were great. Extremely courteous. 2. Free tea/coffee, soft drinks and snacks at the Lodge 3. Fresh air 4. Cute... More
